The nurse manager in the emergency department (ED) is conducting an in-service for the nursing staff about screening clients for suicide. One of the nurses states, “Questioning adolescents about suicide will only increase their thinking about self-harm and they would not admit it to me anyhow.” How should the nurse manager respond?

1. “You could be correct. Let's assess only adults because they'll be more honest.”

2. “We will limit the assessment to adolescents with psychiatric diagnoses.”

3. “It's a myth that talking about suicide leads to suicide attempts.

4. ” “If you think the adolescent is not telling you the truth, you can question the parents.”
